The Vicar of Dibley

Arrival - S1-E1

Corrected entry: During the council meeting where the David has drafted the letter for the Bishop, once Frank objected, David then responds with "Jim!" rather than "Frank!"

Correction: David Horton is addressing another character (Jim Trott) at the time. It is not a mistake at all.

Winter - S3-E2

Corrected entry: When Geraldine is making the final speech, at the end of the nativity, her angel wings are missing on the first shot, but are there on the second.

Correction: This happens because she begins the scene with no wings, and then makes them appear in context with the speech she is making. It seems like a mistake if you miss the couple of seconds of footage where she pulls a cord to make them appear.

Show generally

Corrected entry: Having grown up in a series of vicarages, I can tell you there's no way she would've gotten away with that decor. Only very bland, pastel colours are allowed.

Correction: All the documentation I can find from the Church of England indicates that the internal decoration is down to the vicar. Perhaps your parents lied to you in order to keep the decor to their liking.

Elections - S1-E5

Visible crew/equipment: After David is announced councilor, Hugo invites Geraldine in to a "celebration". Just at the beginning of the shot from inside the living room, there is a shadow that passes over the chair directly in front of the camera.
